God intended to harden Pharaoh's heart, so that God might show signs and marvels, so that the Egyptians would know that the Lord was God. [15] Moses and Aaron did as God commanded. [16] Moses was 80 years old, and Aaron 83 years old, when they spoke to Pharaoh. [17] The third reading and the fourth open portion end here. [18]
So Pharaoh's heart was made like a liver, and he did not receive the words of God.
